Project Life 2012 Week 10 Overview

LOVE These tabs from Banana Fish Studios!!! You need to check out her blog and then her shop. She has the most fabulous goodies.... seriously they are so cute!!!

Up until now I have been recording all of my videos on DVDs and including them in my Project Life Albums. At first it was a challenge to find a protective holder for the DVD that fit nicely within the album.... but I finally figured that out... see this post. While I like incorporating the DVD into the album I find that it rarely makes its way out of the album and into the DVD player. So I did a little happy dance when I found an alternative with Scan Life, thanks to Tracy and my friend Jenny.

With Scan Life I simply uploaded my video to Youtube and created a unique printable QR code that I then attached to my photo. When I scan the code with my iphone the Scan Life app takes me directly to my video. It's pretty cool!!

Thank you do much for hosting this giveaway.I'd like to continue doing Project Life because it has totally simplified my memories keeping and made it doable. Even my two year old toddler enjoys seeing our family album and asks to see "the book" when he sees it on the table. I'd like to start his own album.CarolinaBoca Raton, FL

Thanks for the giveaway! I'd love to add the Cobalt kit to my PL collection. I want to continue using PL because it's so easy to create a beautiful album with minimal time. I definitely wasn't able to document as much before starting PL.

For me this is my 2nd year doing PL and it is such an important part of our documenting our daily lives. I don't have too many pictures or documented things from my childhood so this is something very important to do for my children so they may be able to just pick up an album & relive our lives. It is a truly blessing. I would love to win this PL & gift it to my SIL who has 3 little boys and to be able to share how easy and wonderful PL would be amazing!

Thank you for the chance! I want to start PL (4 months late HAHA!) because I love this way of displaying memories. I think it's so clean and straightforward, plus I love instant gratification (i.e. NOT waiting until I have 150 digital pages stacked waiting to be printed). I've decided not to constrict myself to making sure I get things organized by day or week. I just want to record life as it happens. I do have *some* Becky Higgins supplies arriving in the mail this week, but I would love to have more! Haha! Thank you again for this chance!misserin@secretstashdesigns.comBaldwin, WI

I would love to win this! I'm on my third year of project life and it has been such an amazing thing for me...I love documenting our family life this way. ElizabethGrand Rapids, MichiganEJoyN88@aol.com

Fabulous pages! I ove the tabs, the little inserts that open up. :o)What a fabulous giveaway! I've been admiring all the PL pieces and in fact, I have everything on my wishlist on Amazon! It's such a neat idea capturing your everyday life that will be forgotten. Thanks for the chance to win!Monika, buzys@yahoo.com, Loudon, NH

I've always been interested in Project Life, but have yet to jump the gun and start my own binder! I think every week would be too overwhelming for me, so I would do the pages on a monthly basis. What better time to start than now!

I've done a 365 PL album as well as a Disney trip PL album. I love the simple process. I confess that I feel a little overwhelmed at all of the great scrapbooking supplies that I've collected over the years. Project Life really is so simple & efficient!

OMG...I LOVE your PL pages!!! They are absolutely beautiful, colorful and I just couldn't take my eyes off all the wonderful details you used!!! Love the QR codes...too bad my kids are grown because this would have been great to have 20 years ago!!! I just started PL this year and I didn't start until last month so I'm a bit behind...working on getting caught up! Thanks for this opportunity to win the Cobalt collection!

I would love to start project life because it looks like an easy, efficient way to record all the pieces of everyday life without getting bogged down in decorating pages. You can make it as traditionally scrappy or modern as you like. I really like that idea.

Just started PL last Dec & I'm going to keep doing it since it's helping me look at my life differently & it's been a great place to keep all the little bits & things together that I normal just keep anywhere. Better organized!

I just love looking at your PL layouts there always so wonderful looking.Your photos are simply amazing too. I'd like to win the kit for my husbands brother and sister in law. They have two little girls and they take SO many photos but they just keep them on their computer. I think PL would be a great mother's day gift for her. I know its been an amazing way for me to document our life.Thank you so much for the chance to win.

I am already doing project life, but would love to win and be able to gift my winnings to my sister : ) She is an awesome photographer, and I would be so excited to see what her finished product turned out being.

Project life will remain a staple in my life for forever... I love the concept and the ease of putting together our memories in one place

Love your blog and your family looks so sweet! Today's post brought back memories of my kids at the firehouse wearing my husband's bunker gear and getting lifted up in the bucket truck - very precious times. Thanks for this giveaway! Project Life is an all time favorite project for me!

I'm REALLY interested in the ease of keeping up with Project Life and would love to get a chance to try it first hand! I have way too much scrapbook stuff and don't do anything with it - this seems like a great alternative! Thanks for the give away.

After my father died from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Diesease) in 2008, only 4 months after diagnosis, I realized how important it is to document my life EVERY day! I am on year 3 of Project Life and I will never stop using it to scrapbook the daily lives of my 3 sweet kids, my husband and I, and our entire family.

I like to use PL to document my family's everyday memories. My husband is in the US. Ilitary and we're stationed overseas. With 3 small children, traditional scrapbooking isnt possible for me, but PL is! know my young children will be enjoy looking back on our time living abroad.

This week I am moving from San Diego California (after living here for 15 years) to Seattle Washington.....I think project life would be the perfect way to document this new adventure.....thanks so much for the chance <3

I just heard about project life not to long ago and would love to win this kit to get started! I think project life is a brilliant idea! And I love the cobalt colors! Thanks for this awesome opportunity! My email address is bhooiman@hotmail.com.

My oldest will be a senior next year - I want to help him remember his senior year - can't believe it - it was just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital...and I'd like to use Project Life to do that.

Wow! Thank you for a chance to win a wonderful prize package! I'm just starting on a Project Life album and was a little bummed that several products I wanted were out of stock. As a busy mom, I think Project Life will be just the thing to help me preserve our memories.

I started PL last year after seeing some of your posts. I have continued (and made more progress) this year because I love the way I'm able to document the everyday events in my family's life. Thanks for the chance!

I am just starting to use PL and I will continue because it is something I can truly keep up with! In the past, it was hard to carve out time to make creative layouts and I felt behind and burned out all the time.
